Pros

Product-driven work environment: All employees, regardless of team, are expected to be product experts and act as stewards of our community. People feel very connected to Whatnot as a result. It feels like we're all working towards a common goal and your peers hold you accountable. Company-wide impact at all levels: Everyone has the opportunity to create lasting changes without a lot of red tape. Employees at all levels are open to feedback and suggestions. We have a culture of continuous improvement. Leadership: Our CEO, Co-Founder, and Leadership Team are low ego, humble, and passionate. Benefits: We have amazing comp and benefits. We also have company-wide holiday shutdowns to help people unplug.

Cons

I can't think of cons that feel particularly unique to Whatnot. We're experiencing some growing pains that are common at other startups. Rapid pace: We move very quickly at Whatnot, and several conflicting priorities will pop up throughout the day. It took some time for me to ramp up and adjust to our pace. Shifting priorities: This is the kind of place where no two days look alike. Sometimes, you have to quickly shift gears based on the needs of our business or teams. Change management: Due to our rapid pace, company-wide change management could be better. Changes made in one part of the company could be more proactively shared to other teams.

Pros

* Fast growing company where every project is critical to the business. * Passionate employees. Many love the project and are avid collectors themselves. * Great pay and perks.

Cons

* The company changes quickly so the "rules" and expectations change every few months. * Semiannual Review process is like for a 10k+ company and way overkill
